http://antenna.animeblogger.net/ Series Allison to Lillia - An aggregation of content from anime blogs. http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss AnimeBlogger.net Antenna http://ani-nouto.animeblogger.net/2008/08/14/its-thursday/ http://ani-nouto.animeblogger.net/2008/08/14/its-thursday/ It’s Thursday, and I feel a little emptiness. While I tried to fill it with Allison and Lillia, the result wasn’t wholly satisfactory. The biggest issue — and I would never think I come to saying this — Nopants Witches offer a much better story than Allison &! offers.To begin...

But before plunging head first into a 13-ep batch download, decided for a quick peek at one of the numerous flash sites.There were some issues, to be sure. The setup was as artificial as that of Fate/Stay...

I haven’t been doing a post for every episode on this series, but I have been watching it, and I figured a bit arc change would be the perfect time to chime in. This series in general has really surprised me. Not so much about it being different then I thought, but just that...

There’s a wide variety of genres in this relatively small season, only horror seems to be missing at first glance. So far, there are a number of potential classics lurking among them. #30 (new)...

I can’t be arsed with listing all the faults this time though, but the more amusing ones still need highlighting. If laughing your butt off at a sarcastic...

I tend to like continuations that feature the next generation of characters. Keeps things fresh without sacrificing what’s already occurred.

Since when was this series this good? It’s still got the same problems as before: some plot-twists are a bit too coincidental...

The Summer, for whatever other faults it might have, will have more School Rumble. And this Fall looks pretty bitchin.Let’s see what we got this Fall* Tytania....

Another Nijuu Mensou no Musume post when I’ve yet to even finish Library Wars? Yep, The Daughter of Twenty Faces takes priority over even that and the new summer season for me right now. For a show that slipped onto the aggregators with barely a murmur, it’s strange to see it right...

However, I have to say that I can't recall an episode of anime that has left me shouting at my laptop screen for almost an entire half-hour...

Since that time, thousands of words...
